Weeeeeeek 11!

 Happy Halloween!!!! We had a spooktacular day today with so many fun adventures! We decided to stay inside on this wet day and explored the Collaboratory. At our group time we used our 5 senses to explore a pumpkin. Some friends were brave enough to touch the slimy insides! I wanted to let the kiddos make all the decisions about what our Jack-o-Lantern should look like. They made suggestions for what shapes and how many to make the face of the pumpkin. We then voted: 2 circles for eyes, 1 triangle for a nose, and 1 smile with teeth! Our group time gave us plenty of opportunities to use our magic words LOOK and SEE. For centers: we played in our haunted house where we practiced trick or treating for tonight; scooped and poured in our sensory table while discussing which pumpkins were real and which were not real/fake; at our creation station we painted pumpkins we brought in or helped to paint our big classroom jack-o-lantern! After all of that we gathered at the carpet to make our friendship snack. It was fun mixing in all the ingredients to make one big bowl of yumminess! We munched and crunched while watching some fun Halloween stories :) 

Thank to you Lair for giving each friend a special surprise today as well as the teachers!!!!!!

We hope everyone has a fun night while staying safe! 


Flow of the day:

Table time during arrival: We do name work, reading, building, etc.















Since we stayed inside, our gross motor time is assigned and at an earlier time than normal. The collaboratory is a place where we can build, jump, play ball wall, and do wind tunnel.

































Next was our carpet time where we did not do our normal routine but instead did our pumpkin exploration, talking about what it looked like: big, orange, round, bumpy; smelled like: nothing, dirt, pumpkin; sounded like: nothing unless we hit it; tasted like: ew no way lol, and felt like: bumpy, cold.






Then we made a plan for carving and watched me carve each piece, trying my best to make it look cool










After group we always do our centers.











































We were definitely ready for our special snack where practiced taking turns to add in our ingredients. 











We sat all together as a family so we could watch the special read aloud video


Lastly, Lair gave each friend and teacher a special treat!

Week 2 Day 2

 Pine Family is rocking and rolling in week 2! We are having less feelings of sad, mad, and scared upon entering class and more happy and fun throughout the day!  Friendly reminders: Water bottles should only come to school filled with water (it's the best for our bodies and in case another student would accidently take a sip it won't cause harm), sunscreen should be applied before drop off (there is not a lot of shade and not a lot of time for us to get the kiddos all lathered up), and bug spray should be applied before drop off (this is mostly needed when we start going to the forest on Tuesdays, starting on Sept 12th). Thanks :)

Welcome back

 Happy Tuesday! I hope you enjoyed your extra long weekend together but glad to see you all today. We changed out our word of the week, ask your kiddo if they remember what it is (PUT). At centers we continued exploring small world and our bakery. We opened the sensory table again and some faux snow and polar animals which was a big hit! We also changed out our gross motor center, changing out our obstacle course (crawl through tunnel, jump 10 times on the trampoline, and (steam)roll or summersault on the mat) for some thing new. Ask your kiddo if they tried to scoop the snowball, carry it across the balance beam and PUT it on the snowman.

All the fun

Today was not a typical day in the Pine room. We pulled out some new items to explore, had an impromptu dance party, capered, had a practice fire drill (during snack of all times) and ended out in the sunshine by the snail.  To our sick friends, we wish you well and hope to see you Monday! Have a great weekend :)
